He did not throw an interception, didn't fumble and was sacked one time.Analysis: Roethlisberger sat out most of the second half after taking a shot to his ribs late in the second quarter, but returned with 5:20 left to engineer a touchdown drive that briefly gave the Steelers the lead back. He may be limited during practice this coming week, but there's no virtually no chance the Steelers will go into next Sunday's vital game with New England without their franchise quarterback.

He's officially listed as questionable.Analysis: Roethlisberger hasn't missed a start due to injury since October 2016, and there's still no reason to believe he's in any real danger of sitting out Sunday against the Chiefs. He'll have a favorable matchup if he is under center, and he's 7-1 lifetime against Kansas City with 14 touchdown passes and a 115.8 passer rating in those games.
